Malta Song For Europe 2008

Malta Song For Europe 2008 is a music show in which Malta selects its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, to be held in Belgrade, Serbia. After some date changes due to General Elections due to be held end-February or beginning-March, the Maltasong board now announced the dates of 24th and 26th January to be the dates for the Semi-final and the final of the song contest. For the second time running, MFCC (Malta Fairs and Convention Center) will host the Malta Song For Europe, though contrary to last years' 10,000 seats, this year the venue is expected to be reduced to 1,000 seats.

After the two bad results Malta achieved in 2006 and 2007 in the Eurovision Song Contest, some changes were done to the regulations by the MaltaSong board. Long discussions took place with UKAM (Maltese union to represent musicians) for the final regulations to be signed.

225 (Two hundred and twenty-five) songs were submitted to compete in the first phase, which is judged behind closed doors. From the first phase only 36 songs made it through, judged by international jury between the 19th and the 21st of November 2007.

Hosting this year's edition will be: John Demanuele accompanied by Ruth Casingena and Chiara

The second phase is due to take place on the 9th January, then we'll know who the semifinalists are for the 24th of January.
